Spider

“There are spiders living comfortably in my house while the wind howls outside. They aren't bothering anybody. If I were a fly, I'd have second thoughts, but I'm not, so I don't.”
― Richard Brautigan, The Tokyo-Montana Express

The next time you see a spider web, please, pause and look a little closer. You'll be seeing one of the most high-performance materials known to man.
